Botswana Butchery Auckland
Auckland CBD waterfront, Auckland, New Zealand; The Ferry Building, 99 Quay Street, Auckland 1010
Botswana Butchery Auckland is an operating waterfront restaurant in the Ferry Building on Quay Street, and the official Auckland venue pages confirm the branch at 99 Quay Street in central Auckland. That gives it one of the clearest downtown harbourfront positions in this ranking: directly by the ferry side of the CBD and within easy reach of Britomart, Commercial Bay and the lower Queen Street area. The venue is presented by the operator as a substantial restaurant with bar and dining spaces rather than a nominal city outpost, and the address is unambiguous on the official contact material. For ranking purposes, it stays in the list because it is a distinct, functioning city-centre restaurant rather than an unresolved or historical listing. The official site confirms lunch and dinner service seven days a week from 11.30am until late, and states that when online bookings are unavailable guests can book by phone. The operator also describes the main dining spaces and waterfront setting, supporting that the branch is actively trading at this exact Quay Street location. While its steakhouse profile is somewhat more classic than some higher-ranked venues, the concrete adverse issue was operational uncertainty, not category or geography. The opened primary sources resolve that uncertainty and support keeping the restaurant at rank 10 as a polished, dependable Auckland CBD waterfront option.
